[quote=Anonymous]I'm the previous poster (to whom you refer). I wouldn't expect there to be many differences between Mann and Key. Mann tends to be wealthier, but both areas are objectively wealthy, so that's not a distinction.

I cannot speak to Key, but Mann views itself as a center of the community. Parents are very involved with the school and the school plays an outsized role in the social scene of parents. (We all have networks outside of the school, but Mann has many activities throughout the year, so nary two or three weeks go by without some sort of Mann-related activity.)

The parents at Mann are very invested in the school. The principal has been there for a decade (some of that time also as a parent) and parents trust her to do what's best for our children. (And rightly so: she's fantastic.) If she's getting behind Hardy, then I would expect the Mann parent community to also get behind Hardy. This seems to be occurring already. So, I don't it's really about being "more invested in public school," but, rather, being very invested in Mann and willing to trust the judgement of the broader school community. [/quote]
